Drainage Applications.
During the year, 30 applications accompanied by plans of new
drainage of 83 premises, were submitted to, and approved by, the
Public Health and Sewers Committee. Each drain was carefully
examined whilst being laid, and thoroughly tested with the water
test on completion.
Sewer Ventilation.
During the year the London County Council, on the representation
of the Vestry, fixed a pipe ventilator from the Council's main
sewer in Borough High Street, opposite St. George's Church, and the
surface ventilator at this point, which had been a source of much
complaint, was then closed.
Draft Bye-Laws, submitted by the London County Council under
Section 202 Metropolis Management Act, 1855:—
A copy of the draft Bye-Laws, with respect to drainage, was
received from the London County Council in December last. I
submitted a report to the Public Health and Sewers Committee on
the proposed Bye-Laws, and suggested several modifications and
additions which seemed desirable. These were approved by the
Committee and forwarded to the London County Council.
